I know it's still early for purim but I live in Israel and if I will have to order something from abroad it will take a while to get here so:

Eight year old DD wants to be a ballet dancer on Purim.
problem is that all I found are very short not tznius tutus.
She needs something to cover her knees.
Any ideas?

TIA!

Tutu over another full skirt.
Or you can make your own skirt by sewing a few layers of pink tulle to a thick band of elastic, with longer layers below and shorter above.

Pink ribbon criss-crossing up her legs from her shoes to her knees add to the ballet look.

Try looking at pettiskirts. Get a larger size for length, and tighten the elastic waistband. You may have to add a lining since they are full circle, so when she spins, all shows.
A Lycra or other shimmery shirt would work, tucked in.

You'd need sleeves under it, of course, but does something like this work? http://www.aliexpress.com/item.....HS4eL

There's a no-sew tutu you can make by cutting wide strips of tulle and tying them with slipknots around a band. The more strips you add, the fuller the look. She will need to wear a skirt underneath to line it, if you want to keep it tznius.

It looks long but it may not be.

It also is not a ballerina costume per se, more like a princess dress, but it does have that full skirt and tznius top.

I don't know what your budget is, but if you want a girls' tutu, you can check out discountdancesupply.com

The length you're looking for is called romantic length or classical length.
